Did you know that every copy of Windows installed and run has hidden shares? They hide them by adding a dollar sign after the share name. If you don't know about shares, what they are, and what they are for.. let me enlighten you briefly. Basically, when you're connecting multiple computers together over a network or the internet.. you can access the drives of other machines by naming them. These are called share names. Say I share something as 'barfface'.. it will show up as barfface over all the network. But, if I name it 'barfface$' then it's still shared but no one can see it. Here are the ones that Windows puts in your system without telling you:
admin$ - shares all your system files c$ - shares your entire hard drive ipc$ - shares the sharing manager so if you disable some of the shares you aren't supposed to know about.. someone can go back in and turn them on.
So, how do you stop this from happening? Well knowledge is power.. let me empower you. Click here. Views: 1343
Xvid is a powerful type of video compression. This is called a codec. There are lots of codecs. Microsoft doesn't put Xvid on a computer cause they are too busy competing with their own video compression file types. This came out first and is obviously the new and best video compression codec. It's an offspring of Divx, which started charing for theirs a few years ago. This is used a lot on videos that are shared or downloaded on the internet these days. You need this to play many video and movie files. If you've ever downloaded a video that had no picture... you might have needed Xvid.

This is an amazing program that will help you figure out every piece of hardware in your computer. Great for anyone that is fixing or planning to fix a computer in the near future. It's a little out dated now but if you're working at a computer shop or with computers older than 2 or 3 years, then this will come in great use for you. It can identify kinds of hardware down to their model number so you'll know right where to look on the internet for the correct driver. Here's how I found it on Google:
If you've been using Internet Explorer or any other web browser for the internet you're missing out! FireFox is the best web browser available! It's designed for every operating system and has tons of perks that no other browser can offer. It blocks pop ups, has extensions (which are plugins you can add to make it more powerful), and theme it. Plus it has tabbed browsing and organizes your bookmarks better. It's so good that even Google promotes it! They wouldn't promote anything unless it was awesome. So stop wasting your time with other browsers and get FireFox! Views: 1748
If you're using Windows XP or newer, don't bother with this program. This is a great program that allows you to modify the start menu, desktop icons, and a few other small things with the appearance and functionality of Windows. It works for Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, and 2000. I use it on every copy of Windows 2000 I install. I hate the Windows Flag branding my start button. My start button says 'Create!' cause that's what I like to do with my computer.
So, how can you get a copy? Search Google for it, or click here for a ton of download sources I have found and listed just for you! Views: 1458
This is an amazing program that lets you edit anything in Windows. You can change the way things look, react, and what they say. I love changing what dialogs say when they pop up in programs. This program is used a lot to hack AOL Instant Messenger. People remove the advertisements with this. You just make some modifications, then save! It's extremely powerful.. almost too powerful. I'm sure Bill Gates isn't happy about this one. Views: 567

I should know, this site and almost all the sites I run, manage, and put together use CuteNews.ru. My life wouldn't be the same without it.
